10 pounds of dual screen laptop! ORDER UP. They’ve done it. GScreen, the Alaska-based hardware company, has finally announced a launched date for their screen-stretching LED backlit powerhouse. After two years of being taunted by photos and renderings, gScreen has named November as the month you will finally be able to take up two tables and a large sofa at the local coffee shop. Their gScreen Spacebook is hitting the web shelves with two impressive 17″ screens that not only collapse in on each other, but are both a full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution. The downside for you 3D modeling types is the NVIDIA GeForce 250M GPU. But who says you couldn’t just rip that sucker out and beef it up a little?
The first full-size dual screen laptop
Sure, there was the Lenovo W700 with it’s wee little side screen, but this is an additional 17″ monitor to spread your CAD across. What’s extra nice is the ample Core i7 processor, the 8GB DDR Memory and a 7200rpm 500GB hard drive. You can purchase the laptop from gScreen for ONLY $2099 and get a pre-order in for a $795 down payment to guarantee your spot in the certain mayhem a gadget of this caliber will create.
